Reality T.V articles


The first reality television article was very interesting. The fact that the reality t.v shows were grouped into categories was good. I've never seen groups such as these before. I have always thought of reality television as one big large group, not as small groups sectioned off.

It makes sense to group them like this, for there are different types of reality television. One of the most common is the competitive reality television shows where they are playing for some kind of reward at the end. This could consist of love, money, or fame. One of the most common examples of this would be fear factor. They have to do very disgusting things in order to acquire money in the end. Another type of reality television category is transformation. In this either people, or other things are transformed by the end of the television show. An example of this is extreme makeover home edition, where they make over an entire house in a week. Or, the biggest loser. This is transformer peoples bodies so they can become healthier.
